Chapter 90 Daya and Little Ya

Upon hearing the word 'sacrifice,' Renée almost had a trauma response on the spot.

She had previously died because she was treated as a sacrifice, so she was deeply repulsed by this behavior.

By what right do they choose innocent people as sacrifices?

Do they really not value other people's lives?

The young girl was very displeased and said as much.

"What kind of bullshit River God needs young boys and girls as sacrifices?"

"If the sacrifices were gold, silver, treasures, cattle, sheep, or pigs, that would be one thing, but why specifically use human lives?"

"You are committing a crime! Deliberately murdering others! You deserve to be struck by lightning!"

Hearing this, the old village chief's expression changed slightly.

Fortunately, the identity of Mu An and his group was that of 'honorable immortals.'

If it were ordinary people who dared to say such things, they might not have been able to walk out of this village at all.

Countless villagers would have beaten such a person who dared to offend the River God to death with clubs!

Offending the River God is like digging up their ancestral graves in broad daylight; this is absolutely unforgivable!

"This honorable immortal, please… watch your words!"

"The gods cannot be insulted! The ancestral laws passed down for hundreds of years cannot be changed!"

"Annual sacrifices are indispensable!"

"These children are just going to serve as attendants by the River God's side; for them, this is a very glorious thing!"

"After the sacrifice, the River God will bless us all."

"Look, the drought that plagued us for several months disappeared a while ago! This must be the River God manifesting his power!"

Speaking of this, the old village chief was clearly a bit excited, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

However, Mu An saw a few big words between the lines: 'feudal' and 'ignorance.'

It is precisely because they lack the ability to change the status quo themselves that they pin their hopes on others.

Or rather, the River God they speak of!

Seeing that their 'credit' was inexplicably stolen, Renée was also very angry, put her hands on her hips, and said.

"What the heck, the person who solved the drought a while ago was clearly…"

Unfortunately, before she could finish, her mouth was covered by Xiao Qingzhu.

Mu An also shook his head at her.

It's useless to say more to someone like the old village chief.

Even if the 'truth' were spoken, they wouldn't believe it.

They will only believe what they want to believe.

For hundreds of years, this 'belief,' passed down through many generations, had long become deeply ingrained in their minds.

Prejudice in people's hearts is a great mountain, not something that can be shaken by a few words.

Secondly, there is the risk of exposing the identities of Renée and the others.

The world is treacherous and human hearts are malicious; one must be careful to avoid being targeted by certain old monsters.

Helplessly, Renée could only give up.

She stopped giving porridge to the villagers and walked to the side, sulking by herself.

Nina also felt a bit uncomfortable inside.

Thinking that the villagers she helped might become one of the murderers who take others' lives in the future.

Her heart could not calm down for a long time.

Sometimes.

It is not only the guys who personally wield the knife to kill who are murderers; those who stand by and watch coldly or point fingers are also accomplices.

Mu An did not appear very angry, but smiled at the old village chief.

"I will take two bowls of porridge in for them to drink."

This was a statement, not a question.

The old village chief also knew very clearly what this meant.

With the strength of Mu An and his group, they could do whatever they wanted, without needing to consider the feelings of Mortals like them.

If the other party really wanted to snatch away the 'sacrifices,' they could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

This is… the sorrow of the weak!

Soon.

The lock on the firewood room door was unlocked by the old village chief himself.

And Mu An walked into the firewood room carrying two bowls of steaming porridge.

...

Inside the firewood room.

Two figures, one big and one small, were huddled in the corner.

"Sister, I'm hungry…"

Xiao Ya, with her eyes tightly closed, held her sister's dirty hem tightly with her small hands.

She gestured with her other hand and then patted her stomach.

Like her sister, she hadn't had a full meal in several days.

The people in the village all said.

As sacrifices about to be offered to the River God, this was their honor.

She didn't know who the River God was, nor did she know what it meant to be honored.

She just wanted to know if she could eat a full meal after following that so-called River God.

As the older sister, Da Ya was born deaf and could only try to understand what others were saying through hand gestures.

Of course, if she could touch the vibrating throat of someone speaking, she could also vaguely distinguish some words.

And her younger sister could hear, but was born blind.

Both sisters were people favored by suffering.

As for their family… they all passed away a while ago, leaving only the two of them, helpless and alone.

Click—

The door to the firewood room was suddenly opened.

Da Ya, who was constantly paying attention to the situation here, immediately stood up and spread her arms to block in front of her sister.

Although her small body was malnourished due to long-term hunger and was as thin as a stick, her gaze was so firm, not yielding an inch.

And seeing that the person who came in had a clean face, neat clothes, and was holding two bowls of hot porridge, Da Ya couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Who didn't know that everyone in the village recently was living more miserably than the last.

It was impossible to have clean clothes to wear, and even more impossible to be luxurious enough to have enough water to bathe.

So, is he the… River God that the people in the village often mention?

Da Ya's mind could only come up with this one answer.

"I have some hot porridge here, do you want to eat some?"

Looking at the sisters' appearance, Mu An also felt some heartache.

Just as he wanted to step forward a few steps, Da Ya immediately looked at him with vigilance.

It seemed that if she discovered any move to harm her sister, she would pounce on him and fight with her life!

Mu An knew of their vigilance, so he stopped his steps and placed the two bowls of hot porridge on the ground.

At the same time, like magic, he conjured up several portions of equally hot Jianbing Guozi out of thin air!

The wafting aroma instantly made the two sisters swallow their saliva.

"Sister, what kind of food is that? It smells so good…"

Xiao Ya sniffed, her mouth watering from temptation.

Da Ya was facing away from her sister, so she couldn't hear her voice, but she was also deeply 'tortured' by the smell.

She had just seen it clearly.

This man didn't have that kind of food in his hands; he seemed to have cast some kind of immortal magic and suddenly 'conjured' the food out.

This also made her believe even more firmly that the person's identity was the 'River God'!

Ordinary people don't have this ability!

Well, at least in her understanding, they don't!

"This food is not poisonous, will you eat some too?"

Mu An took a bite of the Jianbing Guozi first to show it was safe to eat, then gestured with the remaining portions towards the two sisters.

Knowing that it wouldn't be easy to gain their trust in a short time, he placed the Jianbing Guozi on the ground just like the porridge.

Because they were wrapped in paper bags, they wouldn't get dirty.

At the same time.

Mu An started to check the basic information of the two sisters again.

Name: Da Ya

Cultivation: None

Basic Info: Orphan, born deaf.

Daughter of Destiny. Future achievements are limitless. (Strongly recommend recruiting as an employee)

——

Mu An couldn't help but sigh.

It's hard to imagine that there would be two Daughters of Destiny hidden in the same village.

And they just happen to be a pair of sisters!
